Noghl (Iranian Persian) or Nuql (Dari) (Persian: نقل), also Mlabbas (Syrian Arabic) (Arabic: ملبس), are sugar-coated almonds,[1][2] a traditional Iranian and Afghan confection.[3] It is made by boiling sugar with water and rose water and then coating roasted almonds in the mixture.[3] It can also be made with other nuts such as walnuts or others. Noghl is often eaten with tea.[1][3]
Noghl is often included in Iranian and Afghan weddings,[3] which are based on ancient Persian / Afghan ceremonies. As part of the wedding celebration, a lavish spread of food is prepared at the home of the bride. Included is an assortment of pastries and sweets, including noghl, which is typically paid for by the groom.[4] In many places in both Iran and Afghanistan, Noghl is showered on the bride and groom, much like confetti would be in Western countries.[3][5]
